Katherine walked into work with a smile on her face tonight was the big gala and her date with dylan. She was excited when she thought about being at Dylan's arm. Happy she was moving on in her life.

The office was crowded people gathering around a small cubical near the right hand corner. Near her cubical. They where whispering things too eachother. Katherine caught the tail end of a conversation

"That girl is so lucky, she's pretty and gets all the men" she shook her head a little wondering what on earth was so interesting. As she drew closer to her cubical the smell of flowers, roses hit her. Lucky girl. She smiles a little to herself remembering the night's james used to come home with a bouquet of white roses.

When she reaches her cubical it takes her two seconds to realise everyone is standing around her cubical and the flowers are in her cubical.

Her eyebrows furrow in confusion as people start to part making room for her to get a full view of her desk.

Her cubical is full of roses. Litterally they where on the chair, the desk and lined the floor. She smiled as she read the card attached.

Lots of love...you know who

But katherine had no idea who would buy her so many roses. Dylan she smiled. It must be him.

He was lifting her tonight. And her best friend Lilly was comming over to do her hair and makeup.

Katherine looked up from her desk and smiled as she saw dylan walking over to her.

"Hey who bought all the flowers?" He asks. Her eyebrows furrow in confusion

"I thought...um i don't know" her smile which was previously bright dulls a little as she realises dylan didn't buy her those beautiful flowers.

"Anyway just checking your still ok for our date tonight" he practically shouts the word date.

Katherine knew she felt nothing towards dylan but she couldn't say no he was a perfect man and she would be a fool to turn him down

"Yes, yes deffinitley still on" she plasters on a fake smile.

Dylan leans in and gives her forehead a kiss. Making her blush as she feels eyes of office staff on her, as he walks away.

The office was slow today and by 5 o' clock katherine signs out and heads home to get ready for the gala.

She unlocks her front door and heads up to her bathroom to get ready. Knowing she hasn't much time until Lilly gets here.

She turns the water on in the shower and steps in letting the water run down through her hair and drench her body.

After a good lather up, she gets out and shivers a little as the icy cold air hits her burning skin. So she grabs her fluffy pink bath towel and wraps herself up inside it.

The doorbell rings and she looks out her bedroom window. Lilly is standing holding a tonn of boxes and case's god she really is prepared. Rollong her eyes Katherine shrugs on a dressing gown and goes to open the door to let Lilly in.

As soon as ths front door opens she's attacked with hugs causing her to loose balance making both her and Lilly end up on the floor.

"Bitch let's get a move on" lilly screams and pulls katherine still laughing up of the floor.

Katherine sits in a chair for what feels like forever whilst Lilly primps and preems her to perfection.

When lilly lets her look in the mirror katherine can't help but squeel excitedly. 

She had dusty pink eyeshadow with a dark cut crease, and black winged eyeliner. Her cheeks where chisseled to make her cheekbones more prominent, and her lips where a gorgeous nude.

Her hair was curled and left cascading down her back.

She felt beautiful.

Lilly helped her slip into her dress and as she stood infront of a floor length mirror she couldn't believe how beautiful she looked.

The dress hugged her in all the right places and for once in her life well besides one other day she really felt like a princess.

Just as she slid her heels on. The door bell rang and Lilly being the nosy shit she was ran down the stairs to let Dylan in.

Katherines decent down the stairs felt every bit as dramatic as the one's you see in the movies. Dylan playing his roll as well. His mouth hung and his eyes trained on her as she carefully walked down her stairs to meet him.

He looked dapper in his tux and surprisingly he didn't match her dress with his tie like james used to do. Instead his tie was green. It clashed with her dress but she tried to ignore it. A tie won't kill her mood.

Dylans face broke out in smiles as she reached him "you look stunning" he smilled reaching for her hand leaving a light kiss on top of it.

"Thank you dylan" katherine smiled hoping it reached her eyes.

They say goodbye to Lilly who gives katherine a wink before hopping in to her own car. Katherine locks up the house and Dylan holds the door open to his car letting katherine enter first.

The drive to the venue of the gala is awkward Dylan tries to make some jokes but he should probably keep his job in the law firm because his comedic talents are minimal. Katherine found herself cringing more often than laughing.

When they pull up at the fancy hotel, she lets out a breath of relief because being in that car alone with him was becoming rather suffocating.

There where guards posted at the door katherine and dylan showed them their invites to get into the party and were allowed in immediately.

The hall was full of people dressed up in extravagant gowns. There are many big balls throughout the year hosted by the firm but this year everyone went all out.

They walk towards a group of colleagues and Dylan wraps an arm around katherines waist. She can't help but squirm under his touch but he doesn't seem to notice.

She feels eyes on her back but ignores it. And takes a sip of the champagne Dylan hands her straight away.

"Dylan are you trying to get me drunk" she laughs

He grins cheekily back at her kissing her cheek "not really but it's a good idea"

She gently hits his shoulder laughing   along with him. Maybe tonight will be alright.

After a while Katherine excuses herself to get some air. She walks out to the balcony and looks out at the view of the city sighing in content.

Her silence is interupted when she hears a familliar voice behind her "its beautiful isn't it" his deep smooth voice reaches her ears. At first she thought she was hearing thing's but when James's form stands beside her she knows it's real.

"Its stunning" she lets out a sigh.

This feels right as much as she doesn't want it too. It does.

Dylan is good to her treats her well. But when he touches her she doesn't feel anything.

When james is within 2 meters she feels the tingles everytime he speaks a little jolt of excitment pulses through her. The only man she could ever want and he is repulsed by her

"What are you doing her james?" She finaly blurts out the question that sprung into her mind as soon as she laid eyes on him.

He chuckles a little "i own this place katherine"

She mentaly face palms herself. "Of course you do" her laugh this time is more sarcastic and he picks up on it

"What you don't want me here?" He raises a brow as he looks into her eyes. There is something there in his eyes she can't describe. Something different.

"No the other way around. Isn't this the part where you call me a whore and kick me out?" She asks angry at his calm confident persona.

"Hmm if thats what you want" he smirks rubbing the light stubble
on his chin

"Of course it isn't. You don't get to be like this though james." She snaps back her calmness no longer. She's angry she loved him heck she loves him and he is acting like he didn't throw her heart on the ground and trample all over making jokes and being smug.

His brows furrow "like what katherine?" His tone raised a little but she is not intimidated

"You can't come back into my life after five years, after accusing me of cheating and joke around on a balcony with me. James don't...don't mess with me don't try to intimidate me with your deep sexy voice don't act like what happened didn't happen because it did"

With that he wraps his arm around her tiny frame and smirks "my sexy voice hu?" And his lips come crashing down on hers
